Labour losing battle to convince public

Julian Glover, political correspondent

Two-thirds of Britons believe there is a link between Tony Blair's decision to invade Iraq and the London bombings despite government claims to the contrary, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today.

The poll makes it clear that voters believe further attacks in Britain by suicide bombers are also inevitable, with 75% of those responding saying there will be more attacks.

The research suggests the government is losing the battle to persuade people that terrorist attacks on the UK have not been made more likely by the invasion of Iraq.

According to the poll, 33% of Britons think the prime minister bears "a lot" of responsibility for the London bombings and a further 31% "a little".

It seems only 28 per cent have bought Bliar's new lie that there is no connection between Iraq and the bombings.

4. It was mentioned

on BBC News on the day of the bombings (or perhaps the day after) that the statement on the website of the Super-Secret Ninja Association of Al-Qaeda in Europe, or whatever they're called, SPECIFICALLY STATES that the attacks were intended as retribution for the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. If someone would mention this to Tony, it might clear up a bit of the confusion, but actually I've never seen this piece of information repeated since that day, even with all this debate on the matter going on.

6. Blair's digging the hole deeper and deeper.

He can't rely on buddy Georgie to dig him out, and he has few friends here - fewer by the day.

7. No the attacks were due to a lack of ID cards.

Everyone knows that, don't they ?
